Default Food for thought - new restaurant idea...

Moved to TV in Feb, but visited very often for last 6 years. Tended to be disappointed by eatery choices over time - yada esp in Village Squares, and many chain eateries.

We have a thought. Close to TV, but perhaps not in boundaries (to avoid fees etc.). Build a quaint set of small buildings to house "International Cuisine Villages". The small restaurant buildings in a circle set around a central fountain area with shared outside seating. Key would be delicious food at fair cost. Eat in, outside, or carryout. Each building, perhaps 6 of them would have their country's flag and individual in/out design features (like Epcot). Start with Europeanlike cuisine fare - each restaurant - Greek, Italian, French, Polish, German, Jewish deli style (example).

Location would be key - accessible to most in TV, and perhaps closer to 441/27 to appeal to outsiders. If it's a hit - an "Asian" Cuisine Village could be built...

Perhaps funding could come from wealthy investors - BUT also open funding to TV residents to buy 'shares', like in $1K increments. We could share in profits - and no doubt visit often to increase revenue... And, a 5% discount for TVrs with ID - perhaps an incentive like, eat at each of the 6 places in 6 months and get a free lunch with purchase of one at any of the 6 places.


What do you think?
